Yes: When you fall on the bottom, you can cause various injuries to the ligaments attached to the tailbone. In rare instances, you can also break the bone. For the vast majority of patients, the pain goes away with time, sitting on a pillow, and if you do not have a history of ulcers, the use of otc medications. If the pain does not subside within a week, , consider seeing your doctor.
